AUTHOR'S NOTE:
READ AT YOUR OWN DESCRETION!
But if you do, PLEASE, PLEASE leave a comment and tell me what you think.
You'd know why I am asking if you read it.
I can't exactly give a summary to this, and if you push through, you might understand why.
~.~.~.~.~.~
You and I were created to be together.
We were a pair.
But one day a certain red haired man caught your attention in a way that no one has ever had the opportunity to do.
I was always beside you. But we were placed apart.
The bond we had when we were created therefore started to fade due to the distance placed between us.
We used to be one and our thoughts therefore were one. But when we were created we were consequently parted too.
To become the perfect pair, this had to be done.
That was how we were born.
Once there was one and now there are two.
I could no longer feel you as the days stretched to weeks, too many weeks in fact.
But every now and then I would feel what you felt. And I wanted to desperately comfort you, but alas I could not. When the red haired man entered you were blown away by his presence.
You became particularly envious of the love he had for his partner. I never had such thoughts until now. Until your gaze and thoughts often think of that red haired man. The bond I thought was gone would return faintly, only for me to be aware of your own discord.
Maybe it was your emotions finally being carried over me in our barely there bond, but I felt that desperate want of warmth too- from you.
After all, aren't we the pair made to be together?
I was upset at how much you searched for him and wondered about him. I was also starting to understand why you wanted to be chosen.
I wish I would be chosen too.
I also wondered why couldn't you feel me the way I was feeling you?
And then you forgot about him. But the longing that you had placed had stayed a blaze within me and it was something that never died out.
I wondered when we would be chosen.
Yes we, even though it seemed that you have forgotten me. I still think of you often.
After all, we were a part of a whole. I still remember when our thoughts were one.
Suddenly Jean was here and then Diluc followed. They were choosing a wedding ring.
We likely weren't going to be chosen. And I felt your pain at always watching and wanting something that was never for us- for you.
After all, you had forgotten me, and you were all that mattered to me. But I didn't hate you for forgetting me.
Diluc, I might have a slight disdain for and only because he had captured your attention for so long and I was not even remembered to have even existed.
I wondered if you would be just as upset as I am, if you were in my place.
They took their time to choose the perfect wedding ring. And the wait and their meticulousness made me worried.
No couple took time to pick a wedding ring like they did. At least from what I recalled from the years of being here.
They chose so carefully, so patiently and the love in their eyes and their body was so clear, even I started to feel envious just like how you are now.
And then they came around our corner.
Wow. No one has ever really taken notice of this part of the store the way Jean and Diluc did.
Red eyes and red hair, I thought I used to dislike him. But seeing him this close made me realize that maybe I was just envious of him.
He was able to clearly show his love for the woman he knew was his half so openly. It was clear when he gazed at her that he saw her as her equal and his half and his entire world.
Meanwhile my other half had forgotten me.
Jean pointed and I was startled- this must be a joke.
And then me and you were taken out from our glass house. For the first time in so long we were pulled out from our glass case.
You were slipped onto her finger by Diluc and she admired you against the engagement ring he got her. While Diluc placed me on his finger, his eyes on me for a mere second. Most of his loving gaze was directed at the blonde named Jean, her silver eyes were so bright.
"A perfect fit." The redhead said and it was oddly refreshing to hear and perhaps even more odd, hearing it from him and being grateful as I am.
But then I realized that my other half had remembered my existence. At this moment, at this time where the man who had captured my pair's attention- I was remembered.
I fit perfectly on Diluc's finger, just as my partner fit perfectly on his future-wife.
I suppose I do not mind being paired up with Diluc, after all, if it wasn't for him, I would not have been remembered.
Watching the couple grow after their wedding made my bond with my other half stronger. I could finally feel you. Our thoughts had finally seemed one again.
Our thoughts were one yes, but we were still very distinctly two different parts of a whole.
It was like Jean and Diluc, when they unite at night, it was clear they were bonded and one, but obviously two separate entities.
I was permanently remembered and wanted.
We were once whole and then parted.
Now we were whole again, added with Jean and Diluc's love for one another, our bond just as strong as theirs.
(FIN.)

So, what do you think?
I have been wanting to write something like this for Jealuc (I did something similar for another fandom) but found it hard to think of a way to do this for Jealuc.
But since it is here, I finally found away.
So a few questions, again, what did you think?
Who's POV did you think you were reading as?
How did you feel?
Was it unexpected?
